Former Middle Champion is Too Smart for Irishman Buffalo, Feb, 7.
Teddy Yarosz, former world middle weight champion, battered out a decision over Paul Mahoney, youthful local Irish lad, m a furious ten-round battle to-night.
The former champion, still one of the best ten middleweights in the world. was offered plenty of opposition by the plucky Irish scrapper and there were many thrilling exchanges, but the; skill and defensive tactics of Yarosz were the factors which led to Mahoney's defeat.
Mahoney, a hard-hit best fight of his career but he was outsmarted by a clever battler who, despite lack of power in his blows, timed his punches and scored points constantly to take the decision Yarosz weighed 164% and his foe 163.—United Press.
